Hello Dear (and few) Readers. It will be exactly one month tomorrow since my last post. Well, I won’t let it get that far gone. Let’s not go crazy here.

Anyway! The point to this post is to allow you all to know that I have made the move in one (almost one) piece. It was a bit crazy there for a bit, but all has worked out. My roommate and I are still working out some kinks here and there with cleaning some things up a bit (her bathtub faucet – years of lime and such are just caked on) and deciding how to work others (the dish washer – it’s OLD).

So, (hopefully) I’ll be back to writing on a more regular basis and will keep you posted on things! …. I’ll also add some pictures of the place. Some nondescript pictures. You know the kind. 😉
It’s a cute little storybook house. We love it!

So, I’m participating in the Zero to Hero Challenge and the task for day 12 is to “write a post that builds on one of the comments you left yesterday.” I’ve decided to talk more about the blog post from Good and Faithful Service titled Fandom Matters.

In her post, Faith talks about certain fandoms she holds close to her heart. A few of the ones she listed were these with “a quote from the show that sums up why [she] love[s] them.”

Supernatural: Family is all we have in the end, and you protect your family with your life.

Doctor Who: ‘In 900 years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.’“

So why do we hold these fandoms so close to our hearts? We know that our hearts will be broken into a million tiny pieces once something happens to the person/object/story of our fandom. So, I ask why?!

Because we are a passionate group of people. That’s why! We take these characters and objects and story lines and we insert them into our souls. They then become a part of us. We eat, drink, breathe, sleep, and live our fandoms. They aren’t simply another show or story to us. They are us. We connect with these fictitious characters and we care for them as if they were our own family. Our own flesh and blood. They become our mothers and fathers, our sisters and brothers, our husbands and wives.

Sure, some don’t understand why we love our fandoms or look at us and think that we are crazy/nerdy/geeky people. But, if they take a look at themselves and apply what a fandom is to what they like, they will see that they are just as crazy as we are.
